Since being apart of the Mizerany family, we have celebrated together on Christmas Eve. Myra makes spinach and meat pies, stuffed celery and hummus and we snack and have a couple of cocktails until everyone makes it there. As our family grows, as do the challenges of getting everyone together at one time. Though Maria has worked the past couple of Christmas Eve's - we wait for her to arrive around 7-7:30
before we begin opening presents. Though there are so many gifts, it all happens very quickly....especially among our children.

Walker is at the age where he loves
to tear open as many presents as he can. So when he got to the end, he
was upset. However, then became the opening of the packages, inserting
batteries and putting the items together. The big kids are at the age where they are asking for more expensive items. So they open fewer gifts, but they are all nice ones....which they are okay with. Like every other year, the kids were spoiled and had a great first round of Christmas.
Sadly we are always the first to leave, since we know our kids will be up bright and early. So we headed home a little after 10pm. That night the kids blew up the air mattress and all slept upstairs together. Their excitement for Christmas morning was so cute. What will Santa bring???
